Entering the workforce in one of the more turbulent economic times in our nation's history meant I would have to work harder to break into the communications industry.

Moving out of my parents house would mean learning how to live on a strict budget, resulting in many ramen noodle dinners the week before payday. As a single, straight female living in a metropolitan neighborhood, one would think that it would be fairly simple to meet men.

I don’t know where you pulled up that women get a 60% response rate – maybe one of my customer testimonials – but the reason I used it is because it’s unusual and impressive.

The best way to figure out if you nailed it are your results.
